My proceedure (16.6): 1. Duting the footprint creation I add a max height property to the package place bound geometery. If you edit properties on this shape you will see the fieald. This will so the package heigth without a step model. look at the 3D view before and after doing this, you will see what I am referencing, note you must not have any feature selected when looking at the #D view. 2. I map the Step model into the pcbfooitprint file, and I aligh it to the package geometery, insuring pins line up. You can rotate and move the step model in all axis. So the step models will be brougt hinto the layout with the footprints, of course the paths for your library need to be setup up correctly.
